What's In The Box? & Testing Crowdtap (Late) August 2017

Hey Everyone!

        Welcome back! I’m coming back with a little something different for US. If you want to go straight to video Click Here, but if you want to just continue reading, continue. Let me tell you up front, this video was complicated for me. Normally I don’t do these type of videos, but for the sake of testing we shall try. Going to remind you that I only use a Samsung Galaxy S3 as my video/camera, I don’t have a view finder or a ring lamp or anything fancy. So I can’t see if it’s focus in the right spot or if its too bright or too dark. I’m basically winging it! Be aware, I make a lot of faces at myself when I put on makeup. Don’t confuse my faces for my reaction to the liner. Now time for testing!!!

          Opening the box and seeing a nice little Marc Jacobs Beauty box, for some reason I felt special. I don’t know why, it may be because the brand itself or the box.  Within the box it comes with 2 Marc Jacobs Highliner Matte Gel Eye Crayon; Pink of Me(Light Pink)  and (Earth)Quake (Chocolate Brown). It holds 0.5g/0.01oz doesn’t have much of the product like regular pencils, but it comes with a sharpener under the pencil when you pull the bottom off. On the website of Marc Jacobs it claims to be waterproof and the price is $25.

Eye Results, Swatches, Package
          Swatching these liners felt so amazing. It felt velvety smooth, and so creamy; feels very light in your hand. Applying the liner is pretty easy, it glides nicely, it’s okay in blending (have to work at it a bit). The pigment is all there as you see in the video/pictures. I’m having a hard time in NOT liking the product, its an amazing liner, love that it’s matte, glides beautifully, I’m just loving it, doesn’t smudge, AND its waterproof (meaning if you go swimming it won’t come off)! Product itself is pretty darn near perfect for my wants in a liner; just the price always ends up killing me. $25 for a 0.5g/0.01oz (one pencil), but even though the price is pricey I believe it’s worth it. This would be a splurge kind of gift to yourself not for an every week kind of buy product.

Review "Here and Gone" by Haylen Beck

Hey Everyone!

        Welcome Back! You Miss ME? I Miss YOU! Alright, enough with the mussy stuff. Here we have an author I have never heard of, which is always exciting. It's like meeting a new friend. When I was researching this book, I read that "Haylen Beck" is not his real name it's Stuart Neville! Then I researched him and found out he was a known author from Northern Ireland, also here in the U.S.. He has won awards for his best known book The Ghosts of Belfast (American Edition of The Twelve), has a total of 8 Novels out, including Here and Gone. He seems to be doing well for his career! Congratulation!! Now why did he use a pen name for his recent book? Who knows and who cares! As long as he can make a great book, which he did, it shouldn't matter if he's using a pen name! Let me tell you what Here and Gone is about.



Book Cover
        It deals with a mother, Audra, who escapes from an abusive husbad and tries to start fresh with her 2 children, Sean and Louise. While she drives from New York to California, she's stopped by an Arizona Sheriff in the middle of the desert. While he searches thru their belongings, he finds a bag of drugs, which she has never seen in her trunk. Thinking the worst has come, she didn't know it's just the beginning.

        Let's talk about the PROS & CONS

PROS
  • Great story line
  • Love Sean & Danny (characters)
  • Suspenseful
  • Thriller
  • Point of View from Mother, both kids and Danny
CONS
  • Predictable
  • Won't read twice
        Their wasn't much dislike, which is great! If I could give this book a 3.5 stars on Goodreads I would, but sadly it doesn't. So I gave 3 stars. I enjoyed every word in the book. Its a good starter for new thriller readers. I was able to read this book in 3 days and for me that's fast! Is it worth the buy? For me personally, NO. Why? Because $15-$20 is not my range in buying a book. I usually get my books from Dollar Stores or The Salvation Army store or the Public Library (which I have not done in YEARS!). I'm even gotten books as gifts. But since this book is a NEW and only been out since June 20, 2017, YES, it's not a bad price for a new book and theirs other books out their that are way more expensive.

Review "Surviving Death: A Journalist Investigates Evidence of the Afterlife" By Leslie Kean


Hey Everyone!

        When a book can get a reaction out of you, may it be crying, laughing, excitement, etc., its a good book. Love it when a book can make you go through emotions. Books got to have a great story line, characters, creative imagination or in this case great research. Investigative journalist and author Leslie Kean has two books under her belt, this current book Published March 7, 2017 and "UFOs: Generals, Pilots, And Government Officials Go On The Record" Published August 2, 2011. 

                                                                 No Spoilers Ahead
Book Cover
        Lets jump into this review! I've always had the interest of life after death, but not only does this book explore life after death, it also explores reincarnation, coming back to life, mediums/psychics (different elements to their abilities), and kinesis (different kinds). This book has many researchers work, not only her work, but works of MDs (Doctor of Medicine), MSW (Master Social Worker), PhDs (Doctor of Philosophy), DLitt (Doctor of Letters), and MS (Master of Science). All these researchers had put their work, in this book, for us readers to understand "Surviving Death". Some of the work is also personal experience, others experience, control testing, and etc. It is so well written and researched, I am amazed of all the hard work Leslie and others had put into the book.

        The book cover is a clean look, kinda blinding and if you take the cover off, my gosh the book is so white I feel like I need to put a pair of gloves on just so I don't have finger prints on it. I didn't though just put on paper bag cover on the book. Now before you ask why don't you just use the sleeve it comes with. I just don't like having the sleeve on when I read, I take it off put it somewhere it won't get damaged and then I read or paper bag cover especially if their that white. Its going to have Hot Cheetos prints on it if I didn't put the cover on. As you read on throughout the book, it will open up your mind and make you think, "Is it possible?" Its such an exciting book, you don't really want to put the book down. Some parts may be calm of a read, but the most part it's a fast read, which for me it's reading it under a year. I'm the slowest reader there is, I'll be super happy when I get it done in within a couple of months, ecstatic when done within a week. Enjoyed all the different directions they went to dismiss any kind of fake facts or anything that will contaminate the testings. I mean they get down to business, they're no joke, they want to make sure their work is as authentic and true to any evidence they come across. Did I mention I LOVE the hard work that's been put into this....well I'm saying it again!!!

                                                               📖 Favorite Quotes 📖
  • "In these pages I will take you on a journey into this world." pg. 2 Line 8
  • "Yet, this is far from a catalog of evidence for the survival of bodily death." (Its more for the phrase "survival of bodily death") pg. 2 Line 20
        Now the question is, is it worth buying? I enjoyed reading it. If your into reading research, paranormal, nonfiction, and spirituality kind of books I say it's worth buying. It's just my opinion, I'm not here to tell you what you should or should not read. Its all up to you!
